So now I’m on Ello too. And my wife says I’m not social. Let’s see: there’s Facebook, my own blogs (which number three, not counting the embroidery blog I set up for Donna), the Daily Kos diary page, Twitter, Google+, Flickr, and a Tumblr. I think at one point I had a LiveJournal account … oh, yeah, and I was on Diaspora briefly before it went tits up.
Spread too thin, or spreading out to connect with others who share my interests? One shouldn’t stereotype people who gravitate toward Twitter, say, or Tumblr, but I think it’s fair to say different forms of social media offer different kinds of social experiences and attract different types of people, and who knows where in the darkness my ironic point of light will find an affirming flame?
